Built around Yamaha's naked motorcycle platform, the 2009 Yamaha FZ1 relies on a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 77.0 x 53.6 mm (3.0 x 2.1 inches) with a 11.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the FZ1 measures 220 kg (485 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,461 mm (57.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17.97-liter (4.7 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.72 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 267 km (166 miles) between fill-ups.
